Woman's Dress.
A late number of the Boston Medical and Sur
gical Journal publishes a papei read before the
Boston Society for Medical Improvement, by
Dr. W. E. Coale on the present fashion of dress
amongst our women, in relation to their health.
The following paragraphs merit.the wise conside
ration of all whom it concerns
With a view of improving tneir shape, the
lower part of the dress of women now consists of
six, eight, or even more skirts, made of various
materials, cotton—the stiff woollen material, in
tended for curtains called moreen flannel, and at
times quilted with cotton wool—weighing to
gether, as ascertained by actual experiment, ten,
twelve and even fifteen pounds. Each of these
is supported by a string drawn very tightly
round the body. We have seen the marks of
these strings for days after the skirts had been
removed —we have seen them even after death.
Here, then, is the first source of evil —the con
tinued pressure and constraint that these strings
keep up, evidently embarrassing greatly the or
gans wiihin.
When to this, however, we add the weight of
the skirts, we cannot but at once perceive how
great an additional force is set to work, particu
larly if its operation, as exerted upon organs
having amongst themselves a mobility almost as
great as that of fluid, be properly estimated. To
protect the abdominal viscera against this pres
sure, remember there is nothing in front at least
save a thin partition of woman's soft and tension
less muscle. That these viscera should be forced
downwards is not surprising l ; they must in turn
exert an equal force downwards on the pelvic
viscera is apparent. * * # Here we
have an explanation full, and we trust, convinc
ing, of the frequency ofa disease in the youngest
and heartiest of the sex—which twenty years
ago was considered peculiar to those whose pow
ers of life were greatly exhausted by demands
upon them, or were already on the decline fr >m
age; an explanation, I may mention in passing
not yet offered, as far as I can ascertain, by any
other writer.
Dr. Coale says that until the last fifteen years,
although the dress was at times worn low on the
chest, it was hung by broad shoulder straps oflen
coming from the shoulders high up towards the
sides of the neck. Prints illustrating the fash
ions of this country, prior to the time mentioned,
and the costumes of England and France for any
period, prove this. About fifteen years since, as 1
a ball dress, the shoulder-straps were left off; so |
that the upper line of the dress was perfectly |
horizontal; and this, with the elastic views of
delicacy so peculiar to fashion, was often low i
enough to disclose the edge of the arm-pit. In '
this style there was danger of the dress slipping
down, and it would do so but for the ingenious j
contrivance of whalebone uprights, the lower
ends of which are sup|>orted at the expense of
the inner vital organs, over which they are
placed.
Moving a Mountain. —The Bible tells us that
if we have faith we shall remove mountains. :
as if the moving of mountains were the last i
of physical impossibilities. But if we believe !
what the Hungarian Gazette, quoteef by a ;
Geneva correspondent of the Newark Daily j
Advertiser says, there is a mountain in Transyl- j
vania which has moved itself. It seems that on
the 13th of August last—by-the-wav. that was,
the very day on which the great earthquake oc
curred in Italy—the mountain “ Geleztas,” in the
county of Clausenburg. Transylvania, moved to
wards the “Venyikes”—both mountains being
from eight hundred to one thousand feet in
height. The town of “ Monyorokezek,” which j
was, before the movement, an hour’s walk from
the last named mountain, is now scarcely eighty \
paces distant from it, having been moved with j
the torrene movement, and is threatened mo- ‘
mentarity with burial. This movement lasted j
from the afternoon of the 13th to the noon of the
15th. It occasioned incalculable losses; all the
plains at the foot and around the moved moun- j
tain, with their ungathered harvest, being ruin
ed. In their places now appear rocks of great:
height, and the features of the landseape are on
tireiy changed. No one of the old owners can 1
recognise his fields. Waters have broken out in
the whole vicinity, which is converted into a !
rocky marsh.- The population of the village, :
some four or five hundred, fled to their next
neighbors.
The Steamship Mississippi. —A letter from ;
on board the steamship Mississippi, when she
was aground near Smyrna, in describing the cf- j
forts to get her off, which were finally successful
on the 23th of August, says:
u The scene around us was truly novel. Five
large steamers, three English and two Austrian, !
and a French brig of war, were rugging at us.—
The beach under our bows was covered by
Turks, Greeks, Arabs, and two or three Harems;
and the walls of the fort covered with apologies
for soldiers. At every fresh endeavor of the !
steamers to tug us off, snap went a hauser, until
finding that we had not a rope left, we were
abandoned to our’own resources.”
Disgraceful Riot. —At Oswego Center a
fearful riot took place on Wednesday, 17th.
There was a ball at a public house, and seven or
eight drunken rowdies got in among the dancers.
A row ensued and the rowdies were ejected.
They returned to the charge, largely reinforced,
and stormed the house. The ladies fled through
a window 10 feet high, aud the gentlemen fol
lowed. The Oswego Times thus describes the 1
retreat: “ All made a precipitous retreat, young
men and maidens, bullies and fighting men, the j
proprietor of the house and family. Some took
shelter in a field of corn, others at a neighbors
house, and others in various places.”
A Swindler. —The Ph'la. N. American says
that on Friday an individual disguised as a min
ister of the gospel, which character he acted to
such perfection as to completely deceive, swin
dled Air. Hopper, jeweller, Chesnut-st., out of
two gold watches and a gold chain, worth be
tween two and three hundred dollars. He had
put up at Jones’ Hotel in the morning, where he
registered his name as Leonard Wilson, Tennes
see. At his request, the goods were sent to his :
room. He gave a check on the Philadelphia
Bank for the amount of the bill.—The check
was taken to the bank and proved to be a for

In this preparation Ve have all the restorative pro
perties of the root combined and concentrated in their
utmost strength and efficacy. Experiments were made
in the manufacture of this medicine until it was found
it could not be improved. Accordingly, we find it re
sorted to almost universally in cases of Scrofula, Liver
Diseases. Salt Rheum, General Prostration of the Vital
Powers, and all those tormenting diseases of the skin so
trying to the patience, and injurious to the health. It
is a tonic, aperient and disinfectant. It acts simulta
neously upon the stomachy the circulation , and the
bowels , and thus three processes, which are ordinarily
the result of three different kinds of medicine, are car
ried on at the same time through the instrumentality
of this one remedial agent. There are many ways of re
lieving pain for the time being, but there is only one
way of removing disease. No palliative, no anodyne,
no tropical application will remove it. It must be* at
tacked at its source, in the fluids of the body, which
convey the poison to the localities where it is develop
ed in inflammation, sores, ulcers, tumors, abscesses,
glandular swellings, Ac., as the case may be.
These fluids must be readied, acted upon, purified by
some powerful agent. Such an agent is Sand's Sarsa
parilla, which gently stimulates while it disinfects and
expels from the stomach and bowels all that is irritating,
and at the same time restores their vigor and tone. Its
great merit is that it meets and neutralizes the active
principle of disease itself, and when that is gone, the
symptoms necessarily disappear. The rapidity with
which the patient recovers health and strength under
this triple influence is surprising. Each new' case in
which it is applied furnishes in the result a new certifi
cate of its excellence ; and we have only to point to the
accumulated testimony of multitudes who have expe
rienced its effects, to convince incredulity itself of its
real value.
Lieut. Miller, of the Army, has kindly sent us the fdl
lowing letter from California :
__ . Montiriy, Jan. 18, 1850.
Messrs. A. B. A D. Sands :—Gentlemen —l beg leave
to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable me'di
cine. hoping it may lead some unfortunate beings to try
its effects, and that they may be benefifcted as I have
been.
I arrived here from the United States by the overland
route about the first of October last. A few days after,
1 was attacked with a very disagreeable eruption of the
skin, which my physician could not cure I happened
to find your Sarsaparilla in a store in this place, and re
membering the popularity of the medicine at home,
1 purchased three bottles, which had the desired effect
of removing my difficulty entirely.
With high regard, yours. Ac.,
J. H. MILLER, U. S A.9
FROM THE STATE OF MAINE.
The attention of the reader is called to the following
certificate of a remarkable cure effected by using only
five bottles of Sands’ Sarsaparilla :
certify that the
bee, State of Maine, has been afflicted, more or less ever
since my birth, with Scrofula, which continued to in
crease until last February. In January, my legs *ere
so swollen I could not get on a boot or stocking, and I
had several large sores on me all the time. In this situ
ation. I was about to give up in despair, when I was ad
vised to try Sands’ Sarsaparilla. I had not much faith
in it, but I sent to your agent in Augusta, Me., and pro
cured a bottle, which did me so much good, I sent and
got another, and continued until I had taken five bot
tles. lam now perfectly well. If any person who may
road this letter is afflicted with any disease of Scrofula,
I w'ould most sincerely recommend aud advise them to
make use of Sauds' Sarsaparilla. If any person wishes
further information about my case, by calling upon mo
I can convince them of the healing power of this medi
cine. Signed. STEPHEN HAYWOOD.
